If you plan to change your ERP system it is good practice to get a clear picture of the situation. The best time for this is at the beginning of the blueprint phase. This enables management to set stretched, but reachable project goals. Topics as described in Structure and Process Architecture have to be discussed:
- What is our Business Model?
- Distinguish between common needs and exceptions
- Economy of scale
- Chosing the right process category
Arumba plans and moderates workshops to deal with this questions and get your organization to agree on common goals. This is extremely useful in later stage, increases project quality and reduces time for unneccessary discussions and therefore cost.
